The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is poised to reinstate Babar Azam as captain ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, signaling a shift in leadership dynamics. Initially, Mohammad Rizwan was considered a frontrunner for the captaincy role, but recent developments have positioned Babar Azam as the primary candidate once again. PCB officials are nearing a decision to appoint him to the role, recognizing his experience and leadership capabilities. Babar Azam had previously stepped down from white-ball captaincy after the 2023 World Cup, with Shaheen Afridi taking over the T20I leadership. However, Pakistan’s performance suffered under the new leadership, prompting speculation about a potential change. With the appointment of Mohsin Naqvi as the new PCB chairman, there is anticipation of a shift in captaincy, as hinted by Naqvi during a recent press conference in Lahore.
